"The room was spacious and clean.
A nice walk-in shower, though would have preferred a glass door to a shower curtain that let lots of water into the rest of the bathroom. Nice to have a separate (in room outside the toilet/shower room) sink with spacious counter area.
Room was quiet, TV, though small, had a good selection of channels and wifi worked even if it wasn't the speediest.
The room had the quietest air conditioner I've come across perhaps ever. It was very effective, esp. relevant in Death Valley.
Restaurant was good, food at dinner was better than some of the other spots in DV/Furnace Creek area, and wait staff were very friendly and responsive.
Breakfast buffet was okay--nothing to write home about but the selection wasn't bad and reasonably priced at $15 per person. The coffee was HORRIBLE weak brown liquid, though, and they charge extra for 'specialty' coffees.
The manager, Irene, was terrific and very customer-focused and courteous.
Of the three times I've stayed in DV, the other times at the lodging at Furnace Creek, I would definitely pick Stovepipe Wells as the best of the bunch, and certainly worth the price of $258 per night (including all taxes).
